Do not be fooled he is a mighty hunter

Of course he's a mighty hunter - look at the enormous great octopus he's subdued!

Most impressed by the octopus wrestling cat. It's also got me thinking that l should call my next cat Nimrod 😼.

The stoner reference is correct, but here in England I have never heard anyone actually say it and I am an old hippy

TheSilveryPussycat · 01/08/2023 22:22

At our old house, I planted some catnip in the garden. DCat couldn't have been less interested. Other cats used to come in and lie on it though, when she wasn't there.

I will post photos of her when I can find the damn things on my hard drive Hmm Grin

I'm completely in love with Benny. He's perfect. And Walter is definitely coming around. 🧡

How are all your injuries, @coastergirl ?

@TheShellBeach so much better thank you. My ribs were great until about a week ago when they started hurting again. Nowhere near as bad though. My right ankle is still swollen but ok. Left foot very sore but getting better.

I'm just impressed he made it to IKEA 😂

He is Jesse one of 2 brothers adopted overseas when a family member was living there. They now live with me in a fairly rural area and are the very beat of my heart ❤️

Thanks, @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats !

Papergirl1968 · 02/08/2023 10:54

I'm sure the gorgeous Benny is helping with your recovery, @coastergirl . Glad you're doing better.

Supersimkin2 · 02/08/2023 11:29

I run ragged with two cats here. Prince kipped on my back, purring and gurgling like an unblocking drain - Havelock rolled up when I finally abandoned attempts at rest and they had a fight about who sat on the sofa. Now they’ve minced out to menace Ginger-and-white-bastard, tails dancing.

Ive got very complicated paperwork to do. Can barely see. 🤣

@TheSilveryPussycat here's one of mine about to munch her way through what is left of my tiny catnip plant. Her sister is not fussed with the live stuff (but loves it dried)

Mrs Grumpy currently has two cats.
I have no cats.
Unimpressed 😿

Wow, Yes, that's amazing. Mine gets no chance to grow

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats I'm sure TC would be willing to give you a cuddle

Tbh I kept mine in pots until they were big enough to cope with the inevitable onslaught 😂

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 02/08/2023 20:55

Most impressed by the plants - we're a bit rubbish with growing things in the garden (other than weeds, nettles and brambles).

My plant was like @YesItsMeIDontCare 's right-hand photo.

Only flatter, due to being regularly curled up on.

Supersimkin2 · 03/08/2023 12:22

That catnip’s just gorgeous.

Ive got some growing and neither snack monster has noticed yet - prob cos like Yes I deviously potted it five shelves up. Bet the slugs will have an impromptu rave.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 03/08/2023 13:11

Bet the slugs will have an impromptu rave.

Slugs don't seem to go for 'nip. Bees and butterflies love it, but seem to have come to a timeshare arrangement with Ro.
